AI video generation sounds complex. It's not. This guide explains everything in plain language.
What Is It?
AI video generation creates videos from text descriptions or images. You describe what you want. The AI makes it.
Input: "A golden retriever running through sunflowers"
Output: A video of exactly that.
Three Types
Text-to-Video
Write a description, get a video. The most common type.
Image-to-Video
Upload an image, the AI animates it. Great for bringing photos to life.
Video-to-Video
Upload a video, the AI transforms it. Change styles, add effects, modify content.
How It Works
The technology uses something called diffusion:
- Start with random noise
- Gradually refine it
- Use your prompt to guide the process
- End with a clear video
Think of a sculptor with marble. They start with a rough block and chip away until a statue emerges. Same idea.
Key Terms
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | Video quality (720p, 1080p, 4K) |
| Frame rate | Smoothness (24fps, 30fps, 60fps) |
| Duration | Video length in seconds |
Tips for Better Results
- Be specific: "Red 1967 Ford Mustang" not "a car"
- Include motion: "Walking slowly toward camera"
- Set atmosphere: "Foggy morning, soft lighting"
- Reference styles: "Pixar animation" or "Documentary footage"
What Works Well
- Original creative content
- Product visualizations
- Concept art and storyboards
- Social media content
- Educational material
Current Limitations
- Long videos (>30 seconds)
- Text within videos
- Specific real people
- Complex multi-character scenes
These improve with each model update.
